Bastille x Freya Ridings - Pompeii MMXXIII | Live at The Earthshot Prize Awards 

freya did so well to not overwhelm bastille’s voice considering how strong her voice is

Dan having the time of his life. Imagine going from writing songs in your bedroom that weren’t intended for others, to having Hans Zimmer orchestrate one of your masterpieces and accompanied by Freya, who was the perfect accompanying vocalist.

Freya is extremely controlled and compliments Dan brilliantly.

Freya understood the assignment

They sound more like one voice than a duet. I have never heard two voices harmonize so in sync before. The whole performance was beyond chilling

It’s the fifth time I watch these performance on repeat and the goosebumps won’t stop. Absolutely outstanding ✨

This is the reason why music was invented. To inspire the soul and capture human creativity. ❤

freya, orchestra, choir… forget it, man. i’d be a puddle of tears if i saw this live.

I didn't think this song could get any better...Then Freya Ridings rocks up! She is so underrated.

Really liked this rendition of the song, great work to Bastile, Freya, Hans and the choir and orchestra

The choir just look so damn happy to be a part of this! Goosebumps all over

That's it, music has peaked. Everyone else might as well just give up. Stunning.

2:27-2:30 when Freya hits that note…goosebumps

Imagine the honor of being one of the musicians involved in the creation of this masterpiece...

Can we have it on Spotify? 🥺🥺

I would love a Freya solo rendition of this song.

Everything about this is amazing. I would never have thought of putting their voices together but they compliment each other perfectly. They're clearly both very talented but Freya's voice is just hauntingly beautiful.

My god this is perfection, well done to everyone involved 🌍

honestly love watching the joy on Dan's face as some of the big moments hit

Must have been an amazing experience for the audience to witness this stunning performance right in front of their eyes. Jaw dropping.

This rendition is a perfect example of the beauty of music, emotion, passion, joy, and love in a song! Everyone singing in this video is smiling and enjoying every minute of it. Love it!

Yes, the music ist good. But seeing Dan being so happy about it and enjoying it - that's so wholsesome 🤗

This is a fantastic version! Freya compliments Dan's voice but lets him lead; really beautiful stuff from them both!

What a monstruous couple is that, vocally speaking!?!?!? It sounds like if it were only him singing, that'd be perfect. If it were only her, perfection as well. But having them both together ... it was the birth of the genesis of perfection. OMG!!! Unspeakable. 😮😮😮

I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settles around us And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? If you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all?

Freya Ridings is everything

I‘ll never forget that day a friend asked me to go to a very very small concert in Munich years ago. Freya is amazing! This will me my favorite concert for all time. There were less than 50 people. So thankful for that! You are as beautiful as your voice! Keep that in mind.

Really didn't expect them to be here in Singapore for the event!!! This song version is just a whole new level

I was stunned. I never heard of Dan Smith and Freya until now. This man amazed even my husband who is not into music. His voice alone is outstanding. Such a wonderful arrangement. So proud of the singapore choir who had the chance to be part of a meaningful event. ❤

Such a wonderful arrangement of an iconic song, Freyas voice with Dan's was mesmerising, harmonies beautiful, while music such as this is being produced we can all be optimists about this

No way no freaking way this was too damn hard to handle man! Such a masterpiece ❤😊

The world needs more Freya Ridings collaborations. This is EXQUISITE!
